I utilize the Ride Tech 4 link almost exclusively on my Second Gens and have been extremely happy with the product... Bret's parts and staff are Originally Posted by LeighP

I have the ridetech coilovers on my 66 GTO and the difference between that setup and the QA1 and Speedtech was pretty substantial. Ride quality on the ridetech stuff was the biggest improvement. A few observations:
We ended up with a pretty good stack of shims to get the camber and caster set right. surprised to see that they are not using a similar setup to the SPC deal.
There is no lower bump stop on the LCA. That makes me a little worried. Not sure why, but it does.
Hardware was grade 5 and not grade 8
The spindles are longer than stock and I had to grind out some of the Wilwood dustcap to keep the cap from hitting the end of the spindle
The factory steering arm (that connects to the spindle) was hitting the LCA and causing a poor turning radius. I had to grind out a fair amount of the arm to give a reasonable turning radius. No big deal really.
Overall, I was pretty happy with the setup. Looking at adding the rear coilovers to see how a complete solution will make the car ride and handle
